About Peter J.
Peter J. Saghir built a path to law that began in the arts. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from New York University in 1994, then returned to school a decade later to complete a J.D. at Brooklyn Law School in 2004. The move from a creative undergraduate degree to law school shaped an unusual professional arc and provided a broad base for a litigation career.
Soon after finishing law school, Saghir took a role at a firm known for handling contested matters. In 2004 he became a partner at Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf. He has remained associated with that firm’s office listings. Over the years he has built courtroom experience across both state and federal dockets.
Saghir is admitted to practice in New York and Massachusetts. His federal admissions include the Eastern and Southern Districts of New York. Those admissions allow him to litigate in a range of venues, from local trial courts to the federal district benches that handle complex civil cases. He holds memberships in the New York State Bar Association, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and the New York State Trial Lawyers Association, and maintains active ties to professional groups that focus on trial practice.
Colleagues and court records show Saghir concentrating on litigation work. He spends much of his time drafting pleadings, arguing motions and preparing cases for trial. He appears in depositions and hearings across the admitted jurisdictions, representing clients before both state and federal judges. His work is procedural and detail-oriented, anchored to the rhythms of case development and courtroom practice.
Throughout his career he has navigated the practical demands of running complex civil matters while managing a caseload at a multi-attorney firm. That requires coordinating experts, handling discovery disputes and presenting evidence in contested proceedings. He is known among peers for a steady courtroom presence and a methodical approach to case preparation.
In private practice he continues to represent clients in litigation in state and federal courts. His current practice centers on handling contested civil matters across New York and Massachusetts.
